The location is good, the breakfast is particularly rich, the smoked salmon is both fresh and the croissants and quiche are very delicious. Hotel Wi-Fi is also good and the front desk service is welcoming.

It was easily accessible from tram line 3, and it was a perfect location for sightseeing in the city as it was about a block away from the nearest stop. There are several restaurants and cafes nearby, so you don't have to worry about eating near the hotel. A supermarket is also nearby. I arrived at around 8:00 to leave my luggage for the time being because I had an early morning flight, but they prepared my room right away. The receptionists are very kind. The rooms are very clean. I stayed on December 14th, but there was already a lot of snow outside and the temperature was -7°C even during the day. The room was warm and comfortable with a panel heater. I think it's hot at night. I was able to rest quietly at night because it does not face the main street or the tram road. Breakfast is simple and sufficient. There were breads, yogurts, cinnamon rolls, flakes, salads, bacon, scrambled eggs, fruit and more. I would like to use it again next time.

The location is great, it is the most lively location in Helsinki, just a few hundred meters away from the lv store. We can see the church in the attic sky room, and there are seagulls flying from the window from time to time. Opposite the hotel is a small park. It was also seen that there was a wedding there, and it was a small church with a green top. The last picture is the street where the hotel is located, and the green top is the church that is next to it. On the top of the bed and on the top of the shower room are clear glass, you can see the blue sky is super like. When you are lying in bed or going to the bathroom, you can see the church outside the window. The facilities are very smart. The skylights on the top of the bed have electric curtains. Don't worry that the transparent top is too bright. I really like this small Nordic loft. It’s really a small but complete sparrow. The hotel front desk lady is very enthusiastic. The whole hotel feels very good, the breakfast waiter is very warm, but we only stayed for one night on Friday, because it was full on Saturday night, if I stayed here next time.

The minute we entered the hotel, we were warmly greeted at the reception desk by Samuel, who efficiently checked us. He then kindly offered information about the hotel amenities and directions to Executive Lounge, the sauna, and where breakfast would be served. We enjoyed the delicious meals and relaxing sauna very much. My left leg started to hurt later and the next morning my husband and I decided it was time to get medical care. Again, it was Samuel to the rescue. He got us an appointment with a orthopedic specialist who spoke English for an hour and a half later! Samuel then got us a taxi and soon we were at the clinic. The Mehilainen Form Clinic (a medical provider with BCBS Global) provided exceptional service, and was super clean. After an exam by the orthopedic specialist, Dr. Tuomas, then a sonogram of the leg by Dr. Juhani, the condition was diagnosed and Rx ordered from a nearby pharmacy. Upon our return to the hotel, Samuel continued to show concern by offering a wheelchair and getting us a cab to the airport in a snowstorm. An amazingly beautiful experience at Hilton Strand Hotel in Helsinki, Finland.

The location of the hotel is very good, from the terminal and the train station are more convenient. Because we took the night train from Rovaniemi to Helsinki, we arrived at the hotel around 10 o'clock in the morning and wanted to leave our luggage and go out, but we didn't expect the hotel to directly check in for us.

The hotel is new, and the rooms are well-designed, though they are rather small. However, breakfast was a nightmare with too many people and too few seats, forcing some to eat outside where birds harassed diners. Additionally, a specific downside is the lack of an indoor storage room for bikes, requiring me to leave my two-wheeler outside unguarded. Overall, it was an okay visit, but I will likely choose another location next time.

Although the hotel is a bit old, the location is good. The front desk staff was very friendly and helped us take photos. The breakfast buffet is rich in variety and delicious, especially the venison meatballs with cranberry sauce. Will choose to stay here if given the chance.

I stayed there for a couple of nights in July. I really liked it. Took the train from the airport to the central station and it is literally around the corner. I’m not that familiar with the prices in Finland, but I know it can be expensive. It was about $100 USD a night. Clean rooms, good breakfast and friendly front desk who were nice enough to speak English with me. The hotel seemed pretty empty but it is large so that may be part of it. The large empty halls had a feeling of the “Shining” which I really liked, but let’s be honest. Finland is kind of spooky anyway - in a good way.

This place hands down is an absolutely unique experience on its own, to voluntarily stay in a prison haha. The staff was extremely personable, knowledgeable and helpful with any requests we had. We were staying there to celebrate New Year's Eve and they recommend it lots of great places to go. The hotel/ prison itself was amazing just to be in. The restaurant downstairs had exceptional food for dinner and breakfast. Will definitely stay longer on our next vacation. The hotel is within walking distance to the center of the city as well as the Capitol building. The location is perfect if you want to celebrate New Year's Eve festivities which are held in the plaza outside of the Capitol building. Unforgettable time!

Given that accommodation in Helsinki comes at a price, the Scandic Kallio represents decent value for money for a city break in this intriguing city. With a stop for four tram lines outside the hotel, it is easily accessible on arrival from the ferry port and railway station, and other parts of the city. Staff on reception were friendly, welcoming and efficient. Our room provided a comfortable bed with all necessary furnishings even if the bathroom and shower facilities were limited for space. The highlight was the excellent buffet breakfast which provided a wide range of cooked and cold items to suit all tastes. Within walking range of the hotel are a variety of bars and restaurants, with the Asian style establishments providing the best value.
